The National Transportation Safety Board says there have been no deadly crashes on Talley Road in the past three years near the crash site. Talley Road was not on the bus’s designated route and they are working to determine why the bus was on that road.

There were three cameras mounted on the bus – one facing back, one facing forward and once facing boarding door. The cameras were damaged in the crash and the NTSB is having difficulty obtaining the video from them.

They are also investigating driver Johnthony Walker’s full driving history and what Durham School Services knew about him when they hired him. They say Durham School Services is cooperating with the investigation.

Walker was working a second job at Amazon and NTSB will be looking into whether that caused fatigue.

UPDATE Wednesday, 3:09 p.m.

The Chattanooga Police Department said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon that toxicology results were back that showed no traces of drugs or alcohol in bus driver Johnthony Walker’s system.

Police said the criminal investigation is ongoing and they are reviewing video evidence from the bus. They are working to speak with more witnesses and have not begun speaking with the children who were on the bus.

Six children remain in the hospital, but police will not be giving any updates on their conditions out of respect for the families’ privacy.

CHATTANOOGA (WATE) – The Chattanooga Police Department says at least six children were killed in Monday afternoon’s school bus crash. The driver has been arrested and charged with five counts of vehicular homicide among other charges.

Family members have confirmed to WKRN two of the victims were 9-year-old Cordayja Jones and 6-year-old D’Myunn Brown. WTVC and ABC News confirmed that Zoie Nash, Zyanna Harris and Zyaira Mateen also died in the crash. Zyaira Mateen’s mother told WSB-TV her other two daughters, Zasmyn Mateen, 10, and Zacauree’A Brown, 10, are in the hospital. The identities of the other children have not been released.

Johnthony Walker, 24, faces five counts of vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving. The bus carrying at least 35 children, from kindergartners to fifth-graders, from Woodmore Elementary School in Chattanooga crashed into a tree around 3:30 p.m. Monday, officials said.

The National Transportation Safety Board said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon there were no seat belts on the bus and they will examine whether that would have saved any of the children. They will be on scene from seven to 10 days to determine what happened and make safety recommendations. They will not determine what happened while on scene.

NTSB said they will examine the crash site and the bus, as well as video recordings from the bus. They are asking any witnesses or anyone with relevant information to contact the NTSB at witness@ntsb.gov or Chattanooga Police Department at (423) 698-2525.

The Hamilton County District Attorney’s office said earlier five victims were found dead on the bus and a sixth passed away at the hospital, but police said late Monday night five had been confirmed dead.

All of the children were students at Woodmore Elementary. Of the five deaths, interim Superintendent Kirk Kelly of the Hamilton County Department of Education said three of the children were in fourth grade, one was in first grade and the other was a kindergartner, officials said. Four of the five deceased victims were girls.

“We are heartbroken for all of our students and their families,” said Kelly.

Erlanger Children’s Hospital says 12 students are still in the hospital. Six are stable and six are in critical condition currently in the intensive care unit. Six other students are in regular hospital rooms.

The hospital treated 19 patients Monday evening for minor injuries and were able to quickly release them. Hospital workers spoke at a news conference Tuesday afternoon about the trouble they had reuniting students with their families. The children, mostly very young, were frightened and disoriented. Some could only say “mama” when asked their names. Hospital workers took photos of the children and were able to get teachers to identify them. More than 800 family members were at the hospital at one point.

“This is something that we will never forget as a community,” said Kelly. “What I saw at the scene was very tough.”

According to a report, Walker was driving above the 30 mph speed limit on a “narrow winding road.” It claims that the driver lost control of the bus and swerved off the right side of the road and hit an elevated driveway and mailbox. Then the bus swerved to the left side of the roadway before overturning and hitting a telephone pole and tree.

Walker is behind bars on a bond of $107,500. A preliminary court date has been set for November 29. It was unclear whether he has a lawyer. Kelly said the bus driver was an employee of a contractor, Durham Bus Services. NTSB said he had only had his commercial driver’s license since April.

Woodmore Elementary remained open Tuesday in order to help grieving students and community members. Counselors were present at the school for support. The school district is working the United Way to help provide funding for the families.

Interim Superintendent Kelly called Monday “one of the worst days we have had” in the school community.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the students and families who are affected,” Carina Noble, a spokeswoman for the bus operator, said in a statement to ABC. “Because this is an active investigation, we are unable to answer any questions at this time as we work with authorities.”
